Keep The Main Thing The Main Thing - Jesus // Monty Plummer

Life is busy, and it’s easy to get worried or overwhelmed. But God asks us to prioritize just one thing, and promises that when we do, we will find peace. Discover what our #1 priority should be in this week’s message from Pastor Monty.---------------------------KEEP THE MAIN THING THE MAIN THING: JESUSHONOR GOD IN OUR PRIORITIESLuke 10:38-42 NLTAs Jesus and the disciples continued on their way to Jerusalem, they came to a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. (39) Her sister, Mary, sat at the Lord’s feet, listening to what he taught. (40) But Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me.” (41) But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! (42) There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.”Psalm 100:2 KJVServe the Lord with gladness!WHEN YOU HAVE THE WRONG PRIORITIES YOU BECOME THE WORST VERSION OF YOURSELF. ~ MELIZAONE OF THE BIGGEST INDICATORS OF WRONG PRIORITIES IS A LOSS OF JOY.WITH OUR TIME PUT JESUS FIRSTMatthew 6:33-34 NIVBut seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. (34) Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.DON'T GET DISTRACTED Hebrews 12:2 NLTWe do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.The way we fix our eyes on Jesus is through ThankfulnessPhilippians 4: 6-7 NLTDon’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. (7) Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.---------------------------CONNECT GROUP QUESTIONS:Why do you think Jesus said Mary made the right choice?What are some things that can distract us from putting Jesus first?How can thankfulness help us keep our eyes on Jesus?This week, what is one way you can show that Jesus is your first priority?---------------------------Connect with us:Web: mylifehouse.comInstagram: instagram.com/lifehouseglobal/Facebook: facebook.com/lifehouseglobalOther Podcasts:Want to listen to our messages in other languages?Lifehouse Japan (Japanese & English): https://lifehousejapan.captivate.fm/listen Lifehouse Hong Kong (Cantonese & English): https://lifehousehongkong.captivate.fm/listen
